Jewish Cemetery: Abandoned. Many of the markers have been removed with about a dozen remaining. Apparently, a shipwreck in Lake Superior in the mid-19th century had many Jewish victims. The cemetery, overgrown with trees, is very difficult to locate. A local guide would be needed to visit the site. Source: Rick and Roberta London; e-mail: rlondon@execpc.com

Hebrew Memorial Park Cemetery: 21503 14 Mile Road, Clinton Twp., MI 48035. (586) 791-2297 Roseville, Clinton Township. 14 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue, Mt. Clemens, Michigan. Source: Mark Weiss and Tom Sachs. Hebrew Memorial was formed at the turn of the century as a immigrant self-help organization for mutual aid such as free loans, burials, etc. They also purchased property in Mt. Clemens as a cemetery. At that time, the site was far out in the country in an area familiar to Jews. Mt. Clemens was famous for their 'baths', probably a vein of sulfur water. Today, the area merely is more urban sprawl. The cemetery is large enough that, from the inside, you lose sight of the ugliness nearby. Hebrew Memorial burial society has a chapel in Oak Park, MI and their own cemetery in Mt. Clemens.
